(1) The INPUT socket is the ¼" connector for your guitar. Please use a standard

¼" TS connector.

2.1.1 CLEAN CHANNEL

(2) The CLEAN CHANNEL LED lights up when the CLEAN channel is active.

(3) The GAIN control determines the volume of the CLEAN channel.

(4) The CRUNCH button (VT100FXH and VT100FX only) allows you to add some

slight distortion to your clean sound, giving it a bit of “dirt” or “crunch”.

(5) The BASS control in the EQ section allows you to raise or lower the bass

frequencies on the CLEAN channel.

(6) With the MIDDLE control you can raise or lower the midrange frequencies

onthe CLEAN channel.

(7) The TREBLE control adjusts the treble frequencies on the CLEAN channel.

(8) Press the CHANNEL button to switch between the CLEAN and OVERDRIVE

channels. The channel LED lights up when the channel is activated. With all

models you can also switch between channels using the footswitch provided.

2.1.2 OVERDRIVE CHANNEL

(9) The OVERDRIVE CHANNEL LED lights up when the channel is active.

(10) The GAIN control determines the amount of gain applied and hence the

degree ofdistortion in the OVERDRIVE channel.

(11) The OD1/OD2 button (VT100FXH and VT100FX only) switches between

twodierent overdrive sounds.

(12) The BASS control in the EQ section allows you to raise or lower the bass

frequencies on the OVERDRIVE channel.

6 VIRTUBE VT250FX/VT100FX/VT50FX/VT100FXH User Manual

(13) With the MIDDLE control (VT100FXH and VT100FX only) you can raise or

lower the midrange frequencies on the OVERDRIVE channel.

(14) The TREBLE control adjusts the treble frequencies on the OVERDRIVE channel.

(15) Use the CONTOUR control for additional, highly characteristic adjustment

of the midrange, allowing you to easily create traditional as well

as ultra-modern guitar sounds.

(16) The VOLUME control adjusts the volume level of the OVERDRIVE channel.

2.1.3 DIGITAL FX

(17) The DIGITAL FX LED lights up when the eects processor is active.

(18) Use the FX PRESET control to select one of 16 eects.

Preset FX

1 - 4 Chorus/Delay

5 - 8 Delay

9 - 12 Chorus

13 - 16 Flanger

Tab. 2.1: Eects

(19) The FX LEVEL control adjusts the mix ratio between the original and

the eect signal.

(20) The REVERB LEVEL control determines the eect intensity of the

additional reverb eect.

(21) The FX LOOP MIX control (VT100FXH and VT100FX only) determines

the eect intensity of the external eect (see Chapter 2.2.1 FX LOOP).

2.1.4 MASTER section

(22) The MASTER VOLUME control adjusts both the overall volume and

the line out/headphones volume.

(23) The VTC push button activates and deactivates the VTC Virtual Tube Circuitry.

(24) The CD IN connector allows you to connect the output signal of a CD player,

tape deck, or CD/MD walkman. For example, you can play back music CDs or

CDs accompanying a guitar tutor while practising. This connector can also

be used as a LINE OUT output. In this case, the guitar signal is output with no

speaker simulation applied and can be routed to an external amp or mixing

console. This will not mute the VIRTUBE’s built-in loudspeaker.

(25) The LINE OUT/PHONES jack is for headphones connection. Internal speaker

simulation is applied to the headphones signal in order to produce an

authentic signal. The VIRTUBE’s built-in loudspeaker is muted when this

connector is used.

◊ The headphones output signal can also be routed to a mixing console or

other sound reinforcement system. To do so, connect the headphones

output with the line input on the mixing console. Use a standard cable

with 1/4" TS connectors. If hum problems occur, you could insert a

DI box, e.g. BEHRINGER ULTRA-DI DI100 or DI120.

◊ Some headphones tend to produce distortion with too high volume

level. Please turn down the volume a bit, until distortion stops.

(26) The POWER switch turns your VIRTUBE on and o. It should always be in the

OFF position when connecting the unit to the mains.

◊ Please note: Merely switching the unit off does not mean that it is fully

disconnected from the mains. To disconnect the unit from the mains,

pull out the mains connector. Before installation, please make sure

that the mains connector has not been damaged. If you do not use the

unit for an extended period of time, please disconnect it at the mains.

2.2 Rear panel

(27) The VIRTUBE is connected to the mains using a standard IEC receptacle.

A suitable power cord is included with the unit.

(28) FUSE HOLDER/VOLTAGE SELECTOR. Before connecting the unit to

the mains, ensure that the voltage setting matches your local voltage.

Blown fuses must be replaced with a fuse of the same type and rating.

On some units, the fuse holder can be switched to one of two positions,

i.e. 230 V and 120 V. Please note: when operating the unit outside Europe at

120 V, a higher fuse rating is required (see Chapter 4, “Installation”).

(29) This is where the fan of the unit is located.

(30) The SPEAKER OUT connectors (only one on the VT100FX and VT50FX)

can be used to connect external speakers with a miminum impedance of

4 Ω. The outputs of the VT250FX deliver 50 Watts of power per channel

(L/R). Always use speakers with a minimum impedance of 8 Ω to ensure

maximum power output. Using the SPEAKER OUT connectors will mute the

built-in loudspeakers.

2.2.1 FX LOOP

(31) The FX LEVEL button allows you to adapt the FX LOOP to the operating level

of an external eects device (+4 dBu/-10 dBV).

(32) The VIRTUBE provides a serial insert path for inserting external eects

(e.g. reverb processor). To do so, connect the FX SEND jack to the input of the

eects device.

◊ The FX SEND can also be used as a parallel output with no effects,

for example, to record a “dry” guitar signal. As long as the RETURN jack

is not in use, there will be no break in the internal signal path.

(33) Connect the FX RETURN jack to the output of the external eects device.

The VT250FX has two jacks (L/R) because it is a stereo amplier.

(34) Use the FOOTSWITCH jack to connect the ¼" TRS plug of the footswitch

supplied with the unit. The footswitch performs a dual function: it switches

between the two channels and turns the DIGITAL FX on and o.

3. Application Examples

The VIRTUBE features plenty of connectors for a wealth of applications.

Here’s a few examples of how exible your VIRTUBE can be:

For practising in the rehearsal room or at home, please wire your VIRTUBE as

shown in Fig. 3.1. Connect a CD player or drum computer to the CD IN input.

If you want to practice with headphones, connect your headphones to the

PHONES jack. The built-in loudspeaker will be muted automatically. Connect the

dual footswitch supplied with the unit to the FOOTSWITCH jack on the VIRTUBE.

The CHANNEL footswitch switches between the channels. The EFFECT button

switches the eect on and o.

Fig. 3.2: Recording set-up with the VT100FX

If you want to use your VIRTUBE in a home-recording or studio environment,

please wire it as shown in Fig. 3.2. Of course, you can still use a CD player

or drumcomputer in this set-up. This is not shown here to provide for a

better overview. Connect the input of the eects device to the FX SEND and

theeectsoutput tothe FX RETURN.

If you want to record your guitar signal with eects, connect the PHONES output

to your mixing console, audio sequencer or multi-track recorder.

To record a “dry” guitar signal with no eect, it is best to use the FX SEND

connector. You can use both outputs at the same time, for example, to record

signals via the FX SEND output (no eect), while monitoring them via the PHONES

output (with eect).

Instead of an external 19" eects processor, you can also use a wah-wah pedal

orother stomp box. However, please note that the FX LOOP is post-preamp,

i.e. after the distortion stages.

Fig. 3.3 shows how the LINE OUT signal is routed to a mixing console. You can

connect external guitar speaker boxes to the SPEAKER OUT outputs of the

VIRTUBE (VT100FX and VT50FX have only one output) to achieve more power

and higher volume levels on stage. When the VT250FX is used, we recommend

connecting two separate speaker cabinets for stereo applications or one stereo

cabinet (e.g. BEHRINGER ULTRASTACK BG412S).

3.4 Wiring the VT100FXH

The VT100FXH has two SPEAKER OUT outputs for connection of one or two

external speaker cabinets. To achieve maximum power output on the VT100FXH,

both speaker outputs should be connected to speaker cabinets with a minimum

impedance of 4 Ω. Connecting headphones to the PHONES jack will automatically

mute the speaker outputs.
